I've hacked a little feature into xfwm4.2rc2: scrolling your mousewheel on a window's border changes its opacity. Although I rarely make use of translucent windows, I find it really convenient to change the window transparency that way. I hope you like that idea and it gets implemented into xfwm4 one day. The patch also contains a tiny change to compositor.c: Translucent windows tend to get a bit dark, due to their underlying shadow. I changed the formula for the shadow's darkness to be proportional to the window's opacity^2, which does look a bit better to my eyes. Thanx for that wonderful DE!
Created attachment 144 the patch - against xfwm4.2rc2
Created attachment 165 small error corrected with overflowing guint c-opacity with transset corrected small error with overflow guint c->opacity after incresing opacity when transset has been used before ( other opacity than step ) .
Thanks, you're patch is taken with modifications and will show up in CVS HEAD soon.
Yay! Thanks, I was just beginning to write a patch myself, but thankfully here it is. :-) Love you! :-)
Seems I forgot to fix close that one as the patch as accepted a while back.
